Thief River Falls, MN (5/1/2007) - After
winning the 2006 World Powersports Association (WPSA)
Quad Terrain Championship, Arctic Cat vowed to return
stronger than ever for the 2007 season. That is exactly
what they did in the Reynolds, Georgia opener; posting
impressive 1-2 results proving performance and durability
are king.
“We’re very proud of our racers,”
said Kale Wainer Arctic Cat Media Relations. “These
brutal conditions keep showcasing how tough and competitive
an Arctic Cat ATV is.”
Debuting new metallic silver plastic, Factory Arctic
Cat racers placed six quads in the top eleven spots.
West Racing’s Jesse West (#888), brought home
the first place trophy, while his brother, Josh West
(#788), won the ATVSource.com “Biggest Mover Award”
for moving up the most positions from his qualifying
spot to a fifth place finish.
Daryl Rath (#67) defending WPSA QTC champion and his
Arctic Cat/Jack Links/SPI team placed second behind
West, while teammates Rory Beckman (#10), Joe Duncan
(#20) and Kyle Fiebelkorn (#11) rounded out the top
11 spots.
“Not only did our Factory supported teams do well,
but it was encouraging to see other independent Arctic
Cat riders compete,” stated Wainer.
